Nothing Lasts Forever
2012
They dream of spending eternity together, but will lies, secrets, and betrayal destroy their relationship and their lives forever? Two hundred years ago in London, England, after nearly eight centuries of immortal life, Bastian Evanko has finally found the woman he wants to be with forever. Now he is ready to reveal his secret and tell her he is a vampire, but past experience has shown him mortal women may not be able to accept him for what he is. Elise McNeil loves Bastian with all her heart and can’t wait to share her life with him, to have a family with him, until he shows her the monster he hides inside. She is devastated because he lied to her the entire time he courted her, and she believes he may be evil and incapable of loving her as he claims to. As if their situation isn’t complicated enough, Elise has a secret of her own. Her brother Jacob is a vampire Hunter. When the two men come face-to-face after Jacob and Elise’s parents go missing, will she keep Bastian’s secret or betray him for her family’s sake? Warning: This novella is a romantic tragedy—with a tragic ending—but the rest of the books in this series will have happy endings.

Nocturnal Surrender
2012
In one vampire’s struggle for redemption, can a mortal woman’s love conquer all or will his recklessness condemn her to death as it did another two centuries before? After two hundred years in exile, vampire Bastian Evanko has come back to earn his brother's respect and to plot revenge against the vampire who murdered his fiancée, Elise. In The Sin City of the East, Bastian must fight his rebellious nature and learn to control his impulsiveness. When he asks for a private dance, and a bite, from stripper Darling Nikki, he gets far more than he bargains for—including another chance at love. But is the love of a beautiful woman enough to sate his need for retribution? Nicole French simply wants to learn how to live in her new town without having a breakdown over the painful memories she hides. Having a man in her life is the last thing she needs. When Bastian asks for a private dance, and to drink her blood, things heat up quickly in the private room with the sexy stranger. The only problem is he likes to pretend he’s a vampire and suck down human blood. After losing Elise because of his secrets, can Bastian risk bringing Nicole into his life? But, on the other hand, can he pass up another chance at love? Important Notice: Nocturnal Surrender was originally published in 2012 as a novella. This new novel version combines Nocturnal Surrender with the previously published novella, Midnight Confessions, and adds new chapters to expand on the story. Midnight Confessions will no longer be available as its own book but can be read here in its entirety. The two have been seamlessly blended with the added chapters to create one cohesive novel that pulls together the love story of Bastian Evanko and Nicole French.

He tries ignoring his growing attraction for her, but when circumstances throw them together outside the professional setting of her office, will he be able to contain his passion? Psychologist Stephanie Taylor connects with her clients because personal experience has made her understand what heartache and trauma do to a person. But when her hot new client drops the bomb on her that he is a vampire, she has no idea what to do or how to react. Now she must look at her life in a whole new light. She has inadvertently put her life in danger and become part of a dark world she thought was only pretend. In one night, everything changes.

Auburn Lust
2013
They all need to lose themselves in the pleasures of the flesh sometimes, but what happens when the lines between lust and love start to blur? Twin courtesan vampires Rochelle and Laureline Montague entertain two of their favorite vampire clients for the evening. Christof Rosenbaum and Donovan Evanko. Rochelle and Christof have been meeting for centuries but lately the intimacy between them has crossed the line and become personal. Will Rochelle be able to keep her professional boundaries in place or will she give in to her emotions? Laureline and Donovan’s rendezvous is much less emotional and far rougher, but that’s how they like it. Although, she can’t let Donovan leave after just one time around—even when he is summoned by his Enforcer boss. In the end, both men are consumed by the auburn-haired beauties in one way or another, and there is no doubt both will be back for more. Warning: This is an erotic novelette—not a romance—with lots of sex. It can stand alone, but it actually takes place right before Nocturnal Surrender in the series timeline.
